Well, it's time for another rendition of our famous Roll Call, by which the Moderator collects the names, addresses, phone numbers, fax and email addresses, and interests of the sci.virtual-world participants. We do this for historical purposes and to have on hand a directory if one becomes necessary, for connecting participants. This information is confidential and will not be given out to anyone, unless you explicitly request that we do so. We do not use this data for HIT Lab activities, mailings lists, or solicitations. Occasionally, with permission, I will link up people via the Roll Call if someone inquires about others working in a specific field or in their own companies/schools/organizations (which happens more often than you might expect). So, for those who have joined us recently or changed situations, please tell us (1) Who you are (2) Your affiliation (if you consider it primary) (3) Your address (4) Telephones, voice and fax (5) Preferred email address (6) What you're doing now (7) What your interests in this newsgroup are You can also append comments regarding the quality of the newsgroup, its moderation, the topics it carries, and so forth. I read all of them. (2) Finally, just for the record, I will be traveling extensively in Europe over the next several weeks. One stop will be the IN CYBERSPACE confer- ence being sponsored by Siemens and the city of Munich, 11-13 April. For more information, I suggest contacting Siemens, as I have only my letter of invitation and a topic, "Televirtuality." It's actually a conference on design and the philosophy of virtual worlds, as I get it. I will also be speaking at the Swedish Institute for Computer Science, in Stockholm, around 14-16 April, at what I think is a public seminar. For more information, contact Lennart Fahlen, lef@sics.se In my absence, Mark De Loura will once again assume the necessary moderating role that he handles so well. Mark's email is madsax@milton.u.washington.edu For those of your attending Cyberspace Conference 2 in Santa Cruz, California, USA, best wishes to all and please report back on the conference itself and the presentations there. Bob Jacobson Moderator PS I leave for Europe on 6 April, so if you need immediate attention to something, please email me now and I'll try to get to it before I leave my computer at home.
